Peaky Blinders Sequel Casts Game of Thrones Veteran Conleth Hill, Unveils 1950s Plot
The upcoming Peaky Blinders series just dropped major casting news, and it’s a big one for fans of gritty dramas: Game of Thrones veteran Conleth Hill joins the cast. He’ll play Clemmy Keeler, head of a rival gangster family, instantly raising the stakes.
This highly anticipated 1950s-set sequel sees Jamie Bell as Duke Shelby and Charlie Heaton as Charles Shelby. Ned Dennehy and Packy Lee also return as Charlie Strong and Johnny Dogs, grounding the new story in familiar faces.
The plot picks up a decade after World War Two, with Birmingham grappling with reconstruction – and escalating gang warfare. Bell’s Duke Shelby is now older, sharper, and more dangerous, while Heaton’s Charles Shelby attempts to escape his past and the family business. But can anyone truly leave the Peaky Blinders behind? It's a classic setup for the series' signature blend of family drama and brutal ambition.
